Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

We first look over the very bad weekend the Indians had while facing the worst team in baseball. Then we go player by player looking at the Indians general uptick in offensive performance and how I would personally set the lineup card every day if I was the manager.

The Indians come back and get a win today thanks to Trevor Bauer having one of his best performances of the year along with Jake Bauers hitting his tenth home run of the year. The Indians have done a fantastic job feasting against the bad teams in baseball to the point where the division lead has been cut to 8.5 and they are just one game back of being the top wild card team. We also look at a bleacher report article on a possible Clint Frazier deal and spend some time looking at the Mahoning Valley as well.

We dive right into the loss tonight where Brad Hand gave up more runs in one innings than he had all year. We don't question Hand but do wonder why Tito left him out there for so long when he was clearly scuffling. We also wonder how badly a lineup must be constructed to hit four home runs, two doubles, and 11 total hits yet only score six runs. This loss seemed more on the manager than the players. Then in honor of his being named to the Home Run Derby, we dig into team MVP so far, and one of the top hitters in baseball period this year Carlos Santana.

We take a look at the Indians loss to the Rangers where the numbers show that Clevinger was more unlucky than bad. We discuss the continued struggles of the Indians left-handers not named Brand Hand.

Then we switch gears looking at a brilliant outing for Ethan Hankins, just how dynamite the Mahoning Valley team is in general. Last we end with more draft talk, as the Indians have signed their top 10 draft prospects and I was a bit surprised at the large costs for a majority of players they added.
